Bottom line: Fold or raise, then beat a qualifying dealer hand. The player’s hand must also meet the posted schedule for premium raise payouts.

Deal and objective

Player and dealer each receive five cards; one dealer card is commonly exposed before the player acts.

Fold or raise, then beat a qualifying dealer hand. The player’s hand must also meet the posted schedule for premium raise payouts.

Player decision

Continuing normally requires a raise twice the Ante. Strategy uses the player’s five-card strength plus the information in the exposed dealer card.

Always continue with strong made hands, fold weak hands, and use exposed-card removal in the narrow ace-king boundary region under standard rules.

Settlement

When the dealer fails to qualify, the Ante commonly wins and the raise pushes. When qualified, comparisons and the raise pay table apply.

Confirm dealer qualification, raise multiple, premium hand awards, caps and whether the jackpot requires a separate wager.

Table check

Progressive and bonus wagers often pay on the player hand regardless of dealer qualification, but meter and schedule control.

Ignoring qualification, applying a simple poker ranking cutoff to ace-king hands, or blending jackpot value into the base game is inaccurate.
